Active Directory Access Pane
From the server console, click Configuration >Authentication > Active Directory Access .
From the Active Directory Access pane, you specify a Windows domain account that can be used to query Windows Active Directory for user attributes and group membership. You may need to specify an account if you do any of the following:
-
Enable public key, certificate, SecurID, or RADIUS authentication for domain users without using password caching.
-
Control access to the server based on domain group membership.
-
Configure group-specific authentication settings based on domain group membership.
The specified credential is stored in the Reflection for Secure IT credential cache.
Whether you need this setting depends on your Active Directory configuration. When no account is specified from this pane (the default), the server queries Active Directory using the Local System account.
The options are:
| Options | Description |
|---|---|
| Active Directory access account | Specifies an alternate account name to use when the server queries Windows Active Directory. |
| Select account | Opens the Select Account dialog box, which you can use to select an existing user account from the credential cache, or a new user. |
| Clear | Clears the current setting. This restores the default behavior described above. |
